Roast Chicken with Potato and Celeriac Rosti
Stephen’s mum was here for dinner last night and since it was the last evening before she returned home to South Africa, we opted for a traditional roast chicken. I was a bit disorientated while cooking though (due to yet another visit to the dentist) and forgot about the roast potatoes. I’d been [...]
Read More..>>Roast Lamb
I planned something using leftover lamb for tomorrow night’s dinner but a later shift means I won’t have enough time to do it now so it’s gone on the “to cook” list, (which should be renamed “where ideas go to die”). Since we don’t need enough for tomorrow but still fancied lamb, we opted [...]
Read More..>>Really Good Roast Pork
It was Kerri’s birthday today, which was very exciting. We went out to Chez Bruce last night and had a wonderful dinner there, so decided to stay at home today and cook something ourselves. Roast pork it was, which we bought from a local butcher, Parsons Nose, which we were hoping would be [...]
Read More..>>Roast Rib of Beef
Like most people, tomorrow we go back to work (I actually start a new job) after the Christmas and New Year Holiday. As a final fling before the inevitable new-year guilt kicks in, we chose a rib of beef for lunch today, served with roast potatoes, roast parsnips, Yorkshire pudding and vegetables.
We followed Hugh [...]
Yorkshire Pudding
I’ve had a stomach bug for the last few days which means I’ve mostly been eating dry bread and drinking water. Despite our dedication to posting almost everything we eat, we both felt that was pushing the concept of Dinner Diary somewhat which is why it’s been a bit quiet around here lately.
Feeling better [...]
A Tale of Two Roasts
We spent the weekend at my mum’s in Kent and, knowing that we had a busy day ahead, decided on slow roast shoulder of lamb for Sunday’s lunch. One of the great things about this dish is that it cooks on a low heat for a long time which gives you plenty of time [...]
Read More..>>Roast Pork
We had an early dinner of roast pork today, with a garlic, bay and sage rub, sage and onion stuffing, crackling and roast potatoes. Roast pork is one of our favourites and it’s been a while since we had it, it was lovely but next time I think we’ll try a larger, bone-in leg as [...]
Read More..>>The Harwood Arms
We had planned to have lunch at our local fish and chip shop but when we arrived, it was closed. We did what any reasonable people would do in such an instance and headed to the Harwood Arms instead. We’ve actually been meaning to come back for a while, especially since they currently [...]
Read More..>>Lamb Chops, Roast Potatoes and Braised Broad Beans
Stephen very kindly cooked dinner on Saturday night since I was feeling a bit sorry for myself. In return, I offered to cook him dinner this evening. He chose lamb chops with braised green beans. I stuffed up by buying runner beans (because I love them and they won’t be around for [...]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken with Boulangere Potatoes
One of the most enjoyable aspects of our week away was spending time in the kitchen, cooking with our friends. We’re all keen cooks and, although it’s incredibly immodest of me to say this about myself, all very able. This meant that over the course of the week, there were many people in [...]
